Anarchists to Die.

The supreme court of Illinois last
week affirmed the judgment of the
court below in the case of the seven
Chicago anarchists convicted of MUIR
der. The names of the anarchists are
August Spies, Michael Schwab, Samuel
Fielden, A. r. Parsons, AdOlph
Fischer, George Engel and Louis
Ling, and they are to be hanged Nov.
III. While the anarchists have Is
days in which to file motion for re-
hearing, there is little chance that this
decision will be reversed. Americans
will breathe freer because of it. If
there be any virtue or righteousness in
capital punishment it should be visit
ed on men of the Spies stamp.
A paragraph will suffice to recall the
case and its origin. In the midst of
the labor excitement at Chicago in
1886 meeting was held May at the
haymarket which was addressed by
Spies, Parsons and Fielder. While
the latter was making his closing
speech several companies of police
men marched into the crowd and or
dered them to dispense. Some one in
the crowd threw bomb, resulting in
the death and serious injury of num-
Der of the officers. The condemned
men were charged with being Access
series before the fact, abetting and en-
couraging these lawless acts. The
country declares the verdict and its
affir 4nation just. l-

New York Republicans.

The New York republicans held
their state convention at Saratoga last
week Wednesday. The main feature
of the convention so far as the ticket
was concerned was the nomination OF
Col. Fred d. Grant as candidate fol
secretary of state. All reference to
the campaign of 1888 seemed to be stu
diOusly avoided. The nomination OF
Grant is we'll received by the republi-
cans. The platform adopted held that
two and half years of a democratic
president, who has had the cO-Opera-
ton of an overwhelming majority in
the house of representatives, have ex-
posed the incapacity of the party; it
favors protection and claimed that the
principle of civil service reform has
the hearty approval of New York re-
publicaDs. The platform among other
things recommends comprehensive and
efficient Legislation for giving local OPP
ton by counties, towns and cities, and
restriction by taxation in such lOcali-
ties as do not by the option exclude
absolutely the traffic in liquor.

A Good Appointment.

Judge Walker of Ludlow has resign
ed his position as sixth assistant jus
tice of the supreme court, a position
he has held for three years, on account
of illness. Gov. Ormsbee has rendered
the appointment thus made vacant to
Hon. James M. Tyler of BrattlebOrO
and it is understood that the offer has
been accepted by him. Mr.. Tyler is
SO years old, a graduate of the Albany
Law school and was admitted to the
Windham county bar in 1860. He rep
resented BrattlebOrO in the legislatures
of 1868 and ga, and was states attOr-
ney in 1866 and '67. In 1873 he was
elected to represent the second Yer
mont district, and was reelected in
1880. Mr.. Tyler is highly spoken of
as a gentleman of scholarly tastes, of
irreproachable personal character, of
courteous bearing and dignified pres
ence, and one who stands high in his
profession as lawyer.

A just Judge.

The death of Judge Mark Skinner of
Chicago, which occurred Friday at
Manchester, VT, his native place, re-
moves another Vermonter who has
won distinction and an honorable name
in the West. He was educated at Mid
dlebury college and has always felt a
deep attachment for his Vermont home
where his summers were often spent.
He served with credit on the circuit
court bench in Chicago. He was with
out superior as a real estate lawyer.
Judge Skinner was "a years old at the
time of his DEATH

agony is over.

An intelligent man and shrewd OBJ
server, whose business calls him into
nearly every large town in this state,
remarked the other day that he did
not believe there was hotel in Yer
mont which could properly be ''first
class" as regards food and comfort
where liquor was not sold. In some of
these establishments there is no pre-
tense to conceal the fact that liquor is
to be had in all of them it can be had
for the asking. And still we claim to
be a prOhibitory state.

DR.. Loring's Address.

The management showed good judg-
ment in having an address this year in
place of some catchpenny affair, and
DIR. G. B. Loring of Salem, Mass, was
a good man to present the subject of
agriculture. His address was both
able and interesting. He began by
speaking of Vermont as an agricultu-
raj state, making special mention of
the Morgan horses, wool producing in
dustry and her thrifty farms. Then
followed formidable array of statis-
tics giving some idea of the increase of
agricultural products and the farming
industry in this state and in the nation.
1t is a noteworthy fact that the farms
of the state have increased in number
from o. 33 in 1850 to IS, 522 in 1880,
and in that time over 40O,OOO acres
have been added to the improved land
of the. state. Meanwhile these farms
have increased in value from So to 100
million dollars. PrOportionate increase
is noted in the value of agricultural in
struments and machinery. In review
ing the crops during the time the corn
product is about the same, oats largely
Increased, hay increased from 500, 900

OdOrs OF the Body.
[Arkansaw Traveller. ]

In recent prize essay DR.. Minon has
given an interesting collection of facts
and assertions concerning the varying
odors impaired to the human body by the
Precipitation and the secretions of the
skin. A keen faculty of recognizing diff
ferences in the body odor has been known
in some individuals although it is less
common in civilized than in savage
people.
Cadet de Gassicourt instances a young
lady who could distinguish men from
women simply from their odors, and a
Hungarian monk claimed to be able to
decide in similar manner on the chastity
of females. Alexander the Great, accord
ing to Flutarch, exhaled an odor of vic,
let's and one of musk is said to have been
emitted by Malherbe, Cujas and Halter.
The ordinary skin odor is mentioned as
sulphurous and somewhat repulsive al
though brunettes are said to smell slightly
of prussic acid and blondes of musk. Fat
people often have an oily smell.
Age, race and nervous affections influ-
ence the odor, and Burrows has even de-
clared that he would regard a certain
odor as positive evidence of insanity The
smell of the breath is influenced by food
and decomposing substances in the body,
and frequently by gases which have been
inhaled for a considerable time.

A Silver Mine in Peru.

Once a shepherd, caught out upon the
hills by night. built fire under the lee
of pile of stones that he had tossed
together. The. heat split some of the
stones, aud in the morning the man saw
within one of the cracks a piece of shin
ing silver ore. That happened in Peru,
and thus were discovered the mines of the
Cerro de Pasco, which have yielded
$500. 900, 600. Henry Meiggs had his eye
on these mines, and he made contract
with the Peruvian government to build
a railroad 125 miles long from the seaport
of Callao to the mines. He was to receive
$27. 600, 900, but his death cut short the
enterprise
Nevertheless, the heavy part of the
work was done by him, and now an
American syndicate, of which Mayor
Grace, of New York, Is at the head, has
been formed to finish the railroad and
work the mines. Michael Grace, who re-
Gently went to Lima, has obtained the
necessary concession from the Peruvian
government Though the mines have
been worked since the days of the shep-
herd, it is thought that the veins of sill
yer have barely been scratched, and that
a scientific mining with modern machin-
cry will bring forth great quantities of the
precious metal.
